Community advocate

Mama Nozipo Glenn is a community advocate and fearless champion of justice in the Dayton community.

She was born in South Africa and was in elementary school when the apartheid regime introduced an act that ensured inferior education. Government spending for white children was ten times than for Black children.

Ms. Glenn protested and by the age of 17, she was on the list of “undesirables” and was expelled from high school for marching for peace.

With the assistance of the United Nations, she left and came to Tennessee to study at Fisk University. She lived in exile for 23 years.

Today, her impact continues through her work in the Dayton community. This includes teaching children about culture and history, connecting generations as an elder on the Dayton Africana Elders Council, working to assist and champion for immigrants arriving in Dayton, and her avid advocacy as the honorary co-chair of the Gem City Market Capital Campaign.

She is a giver of love, provider of wisdom, and champion of inclusion.

CEO, Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association

Sarah Hackenbracht is the CEO of the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association, where she convenes hospital leadership across the region in collaboration.

But when she took on this promotion, she had no way of knowing the number of crises she would be leading through.

This includes crises when coordination and collaboration were critical, from the water crisis in 2019, to the Memorial Day tornadoes and mass shooting, to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since taking over this role, Sarah has worked hard to establish relationships and launch partnerships throughout the region, with a focus on equity and building up community health.

Some of Sarah’s many honors and recognitions over the years include receiving the Forty Under 40 award from Dayton Business Journal, being listed on Dayton Business Journal’s Power 50 list, and being named a WIBN Woman to Watch.

Sarah is a dedicated community advocate in her personal and professional life. She has volunteered in healthcare, such as outreach to STEM programs for workforce development, and out of healthcare through Junior League of Dayton and House of Bread. She was selected for Leadership Dayton 2019-2020, which was educational and impactful for her and continues to fuel her passion for community impact.

Lifetime Achievement Award honoree

In January of 2023, Pat McDonald answered the call and came aboard as YWCA Dayton’s interim President and CEO.

She ensured a seamless transition and ensured we didn’t have one day without a leader steering the ship.

While here, she lived the values of the YW, advocating for peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

YW would not be where we are without her hard work and determination through this transition.

Prior to coming to YW, she was previously Market President at KeyBank, from which she retired.

Pat was a trailblazer in the field, rising through the ranks at a time when few women were in banking management.

After retirement in 2017, Pat used her gift as a leader to play the unique role as interim CEO at several nonprofits, including the Dayton Society of Natural History and Dayton Performing Arts Alliance.

This is the third time YWCA Dayton has had the privilege of presenting an honor to Pat McDonald.

Along with being a past Women of Influence honoree, YW also previously recognized her with our Marsha Froelich Survivor Award during our 2014 Voices Against Violence Breakfast. YW is honored to have her on the Women of Influence stage again this March.

She embodies all that YWCA Dayton wishes to honor with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
